Standard unix vi chops all binary zeroes, and yes, you do get problems with long lines as well. In my experience print data from MS-Windows should be treated as binary data, and any modifications inclusing stripping or inserting CR characters tend to produce garbage. Postscript data, however, can normaly be treated as text files without too much problems.
